About variable.

[Kevin J]

Thanks for the tip.

I was just fooling around with the socket functions, the problem that
I am having is the only way I can think of sending text from the open
socket is to put it in to a variable and put the contents of the
variable in to txtScreen field. Only problem with that is the the
variable does not empty and it eats up my system resources. Is there a
way to send the content from the socket to the field with out the
variable?

Thanks
Kevin
